Introduction
Dusty screen? Sticky keys? That’s not aesthetic—it’s a warning. A dirty laptop is not only unclean; it can lower your device’s performance, longevity, and even become a health hazard.
At 971 Fixing, we’ve witnessed laptops shut down, overheat, and even die altogether—simply because they weren’t ever cleaned adequately. In this blog post, we’ll outline why cleaning is important, and what you can (and can’t) do at home.
Why Laptop Cleaning is Important
Performance: Dust clogs up air vents, leading to overheating. This slows down your CPU and may cause sudden shutdowns.
Hardware Health: Dust within your keyboard, USB ports, or fans may lead to short circuits or malfunctions.
Hygiene: Your keyboard has more germs than a toilet seat—particularly if you snack at your workstation.
Regular Cleaning Areas
✅ Externally:
Screen (visibility)
Keyboard (hygiene)
Touchpad & body (looks & works)
✅ Internally:
Cooling fan
Air vents
Motherboard (professionally only)
What You Can Do at Home
Use:
Microfiber cloth for screen and body
Isopropyl alcohol wipes (70%) for keys
Compressed air for ports (carefully!)
⚠️ Don’t:
Use water or household cleaners
Stick anything in the fan or vents
Attempt to open the laptop with no technical experience

Conclusion
Cleaning your laptop isn’t purely aesthetic—it’s necessary upkeep. While your car requires an oil change, your laptop requires cleaning to remain efficient and live longer.
